golden wind meets dew

Rong'an City in August is terribly hot and sweltering, and the most uncomfortable thing is in the afternoon, when the weather will be gloomy for a while.There is no wind, and the air seems to stop flowing.The whole world seems to be wrapped in a huge cocoon, cramped and depressing, making people drowsy.

Guan Jiang took a lunch break when he vaguely heard thunder.He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids couldn't move, and he saw someone walking in his blurred vision.The man walked to his bedside, and a familiar breath entered his nostrils.

mom?

He opened his mouth, wanting to call someone, but he wasn't sure if he did.I heard thunder again, and my consciousness seemed to be split open, and a breeze poured in.He suddenly came to his senses, his mother would not be here, and he never cared about Qiuya calling his mother—he called her Brother Qiu because she was fiercer than a man.

He knew he was having a nightmare.This kind of situation doesn't happen for a long time now, but it was common in his youth, and he already knew how to get along with it.So let it go, and endure the hallucinations and the oppression and fear that follow.

After a while, I really woke up, but my heart was beating very fast.He stared at the ceiling without moving, recalling the nightmare just now.Brother Qiu stretched out his hand towards him, as if he wanted to touch him, but she never touched him.And this kind of intimate behavior is not something Qiu brother would do at all.

They have supported each other for more than ten years, but they are not close.

Therefore, all the abnormalities in the nightmare seem like some kind of metaphor.Guan Jiang touched his heart, exploring something called a premonition.It's not real, but it exists.He waited for his heartbeat to gradually calm down, and then brought his phone.

He wants to call first in the address book list.It has no name or title, just a number.That was Brother Qiu's husband, Li Hao, a man who was ordinary in every way but real but hard-working, married Brother Qiu when he was young.

After the number was dialed, it rang for a long time, but no one answered.

"Dongdong——" the door of the lounge was knocked, and Lizi said, "Boss, you have an appointment!"

He stared at the number for a while, didn't wait any longer, and hung up.

Later, when I was doing teeth for the patient who made an appointment, there was thunder and rain again.The rain came fast and hard, making the glass windows crack.His patient was an old man, biting half of his teeth that were still functional, and said vaguely, "The wind and rain are all caused by God!"

He thought it was funny for the old man to talk about it, but at the moment he believed it a little bit, so he asked, "What about after the catastrophe?"

The old man said: "Ascension!"

"Ah?" He turned his head, "You mean, die?"

The old man said: "Talk nonsense, that's a relief! Life is hard enough, so I need God to help me through the catastrophe!"

He listened, and his heart suddenly stabbed for no reason.Just that one, short and sharp, made him almost fail to clamp the cotton ball used for disinfection.At this time, the mobile phone he put on the side table rang. It was the number without name or title.

coming.he thinks.After hesitating for a moment, he swiped the answer button and pressed the speakerphone, and said, "Jiang Jiang, your mother...she wanted to wait for you to come back, but..."

Li Hao's habit of hesitating to speak and not speaking directly did not exist in the past.This must be someone from a TV show.Or how to say that art comes from life and is higher than life, people themselves often imitate art to live life.How many reactions do people have that are purely natural and pollution-free?How many things are imitating?People... that's enough, hide whatever you want, hide anywhere, Brother Qiu is still gone!

"Doctor Xiaoguan?" The old patient didn't dare to breathe, and looked at him with sympathy and hesitation.

"Oh." Guan Jiang lowered his eyelashes slightly, put down the tweezers and cotton balls in his hand, picked up his mobile phone and turned off the speakerphone, and said to the patient, "I'll replace Dr. Chen with your teeth, do you think it's okay? "

The old patients are all lying in bed. It is better to change doctors than to go back home. Dental disease is not a disease that can be waited for a long time.He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay." After finishing speaking, he added, "Doctor Xiaoguan, it's okay, come on, we won't pass."Guan Jiang didn't know whether he should return a polite smile, and reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, put the phone to his ear, and went out.

Li Hao said that brother Qiu has been coughing for the past two years, and he has seen both Western and Chinese medicine, but there is nothing wrong.Sometimes she coughed until midnight and couldn't sleep, so she went to sleep in another room in order not to disturb him.It hurts to hear the sound through the wall.This time she went to Chengdu to play with her little sister. After returning, she kept complaining of being tired. After resting for several days, she did not see any improvement, and her cough was very severe.

The day before, I coughed and passed out.He was sent to the hospital, given water, and checked.Before the results of the detailed inspection came out, she said that she was exhausted, and told him that she wanted to see Guan Jiang, and discussed whether to call him back.

"I said of course I want to call, but she still hesitated. I finally agreed in the morning. I was about to call you. After leaving for a while, she was pushed into the emergency room. The doctor said she couldn't lift her up..."

Guan Jiang hung up the phone and stood at the door of the clinic.

The rain was still falling, and the eaves were wet. The road in front of the door was full of water, which gathered into a drain, spun around, and then fell hard.He clicked his tongue, feeling his throat was terribly dry.

Booking air tickets, contacting Lao Guan's friends to temporarily manage the operation of the clinic, and explaining the precautions to the girls... He did these things one by one, and after all arrangements were made, the day passed until evening.The old patient who talked about crossing tribulation, ascension and liberation has already left, the rain has stopped long ago, and a quarter of an hour after get off work time, the girls are still there.

"Why don't you go home?" He walked around downstairs and asked.

The three girls looked at each other and gave Li Zi the opportunity to speak.Lizi's mouth shrunk, she wanted to cry, and said, "Boss, you won't come back once you leave..."

Guan Jiang hasn't thought about this yet, but it's not that the idea doesn't exist—in other words, he never thought about staying in Rong'an City for the rest of his life. He stayed at the beginning because Lao Guan left and no one was in charge of the clinic, so he happened to be able to inherit .

He said, "I'll talk about it after I've dealt with the matter. Don't worry, you'll get your salary whether I'm here or not."

"No..." Lizi pursed her lips again and again, "I, I want you to come back."

There was something in her eyes.Guan Jiang understood.But he hadn't moved his thoughts in the past, and he won't move now.So he just smiled and said "get off work".Lizi wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by Xiao Mo, so she had to leave.

Meimei was the last to go out, and before leaving, she took a deep look at Guan Jiang's back.Sad and silent, full of unspoken and unspoken words.

It was too late for the air ticket for the day, and Guan Jiang's ticket was available early the next morning.After the girls got off work, he sat alone in the clinic for a long time.When it was dark, he locked the door and left.Perhaps it was because of the rain in the afternoon that the air was much more comfortable than usual.

He walked aimlessly, came to his senses, and found himself in a hospital.A little further on, it is the place where the most mobile fruit stalls are. Last month, he often came to buy fruit.The vendors all knew him.

If Du Jingzhou's work schedule has not changed, he should be on the night shift today.At this time, he may have just finished eating and is about to go back to the hospital.

He went into the hospital by accident, and went to the surgical office he had only been to once.Night had just fallen, and the lights in the corridor were pale and pale. He walked to the end and looked in through the glass door of the office.The lights inside were not fully turned on, and no one was seen.

He stood there for a while, not sure if he was waiting, or just in a daze.When Du Jingzhou really appeared in his field of vision, he subconsciously avoided it.But Du Jingzhou had already seen him, and his expression looked a little surprised.

He showed him an embarrassing smile, and Du Jingzhou walked out.It hasn't been more than a month since we haven't seen each other, but the strangeness is so clear that it makes people feel a little embarrassing... Maybe it's because Du Jingzhou wears glasses.

They kept a safe distance, Du Jingzhou put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, and smiled politely: "Looking for me?"

"Passing by." Guan Jiang stuffed his hands into the back pockets of his jeans, tiptoes unconsciously leaning forward, and said, "I'm leaving Rong'an tomorrow, I don't know when I'll be back..."

"I don't know if I will come back or not?" Du Jingzhou continued.

"Ah!" Guan Jiang said, "How do you know?"

"You are such a person, I've always felt so." Du Jingzhou sighed inaudibly, "That's right, the kind that has a high demand for freedom, and it's hard to stay in one place for a long time."

"Why do you feel this way?"

"You said that when you wandered around when you were a child, you didn't have much nostalgia. It seems that every place is just a stop for you, and you will always go to the next place." Du Jingzhou looked into his eyes, "Rong'an City is also... I Too."

Guan Jiang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

The two were silent for a while, Du Jingzhou asked him if he had eaten, he swallowed a bit, the thirst for water in his dry throat seemed to drive the demand for food in his stomach at the same time, he was finally a little hungry.Du Jingzhou saw it and smiled.

"Please finish your meal, I will see you off."

It's almost time for Du Jingzhou to start the evening shift, and there is not much time.They settled it at the small shop outside the hospital.I chose a restaurant that served food quickly, and ordered two home-cooked dishes and a soup.

Ever since receiving Li Hao's call, Guan Jiang felt that his heart was always heavy and astringent.Now sitting with Du Jingzhou, eating like before, he suddenly felt relaxed, didn't think about anything, and finished his meal properly.

After eating almost, Du Jingzhou said, "I'm sorry, I don't have time to see you off properly."

He shook his head and said it was nothing, drank the last sip of soup, checked the time, and asked Du Jingzhou if it was time to go back.Du Jingzhou then settled the bill, and the two walked back towards the hospital.This time, Guan Jiang didn't go in again.

Du Jingzhou waved to him and said, "Then I'll go back."

"En." Guan Jiang clasped his hands, nodded and watched Du Jingzhou leave.He decided to watch Du Jingzhou enter until he couldn't see him.There is no reason, just the mood at this moment.

But Du Jingzhou didn't let him see the end like this, he turned around after hearing the footsteps, and asked him: "I still want to know, where are you going, and will you come back?"
